The fault would have meant that you would not have been able to access the forum at all?

The last post I can find for you is 26 Jan 2015, 21:49

Have you lost some since then? The favourite trick to lose posts is to either hit preview instead of post or to hit send and ignore the " someone has replied already" message. On my laptop, this is virtually out of view and I've fallen foul of this before.

Mark- the head honcho admin is at work now but if you have had a loss of post other than the above, ping him a PM and he might be able to see something form a back up??

No...calm down boys.....nothing is missing (where's Terry). I just meant that because the server was down I was unable to post or have a laugh....relax....classical...soothing...music dum de dum dum de dah

Whew!!!!

Paranoid after culling Terry's post! Cat on a hot tin roof at any sign of the word 'lost'!

Here you go chaps, the official line from the hosting company. Not ideal that one of their upgrades caused it, but I'm always happy when they can identify an RFO as it gives me confidence that it's not a fundamental issue that will re-occur...

Thank you for contacting us.

This email update is inline with our conversation earlier. Our administrators were able to resolve the issue and your website is working again. Last night during an ordinary PHP software update came to an error which at some of our Customers led to problems within the internal PHP memory. Our technicians rolled out a global solution. Most of the webpages should be back up now. We will continue to monitor for further impact. We understand the critical nature of these systems to our clients and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

No explosion - but most folks thought it was one.Only lasted a few seconds felt and sounded like a heavy lorry hitting the house but from all directions.People as far away as Petersfield and Bournemouth felt it. The epicentre was at Winnal. Because it was relatively shallow at 3km the 2.9 had more impact.Britain suffers 200 earthquakes a year with 10 of this magnitude.

I was in a hotel in Greece when they had an earthquake and it felt as if a lorry had actually hit the hotel. Another time the bed was shaking which was interesting to say the least. Put a whole new spin on the phrase 'Did the Earth move for you'.
